Nanoscale Imaging Has Never Been Easier

Collect nanoscale topography data on your benchtop in three clicks with the nGauge AFM.

ICSPI has integrated all of the components of a traditional AFM onto a single 1 mm x 1 mm chip to create the world’s first single-chip AFM. That means that 250 AFMs can fit on the face of a penny.

The nGauge AFM uses micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) to control the X, Y and Z position of the tip. This means that no alignment of lasers is required.

The nGauge is the smallest AFM in the world. Because the entire unit weighs less than 500 grams, the nGauge rejects building vibrations, so no vibration isolation table is needed, which makes the nGauge a true benchtop AFM.

 

What can I use AFM for?

AFM provides topographical data of a surface. That means that you can look at the shape and size of individual features, such as the pits on a DVD, or look at the particle density, such as the number of nanoparticles in an area.

The nGauge AFM can be used to investigate surfaces where the features are up to 10 µm tall. It’s tricky to pinpoint a lower limit, but the RMS noise in the vertical (z) direction of the nGauge is 1 nanometre (nm). So, depending on your requirements, features as small as 5–10 nm can be imaged with the nGauge with acceptable accuracy.

To put what a nanometer is into perspective, a quarter (25-cent coin) is about 2 cm wide. An E. coli bacterium cell is 2 µm wide (10,000× smaller than a quarter). And the diameter of a DNA helix is 2 nm (1,000× smaller than a bacterium).

The LabVantage Enterprise platform is designed to scale from small single-site deployments all the way up to a global enterprise. Complex organizations tackling a large volume of data and a wide variety of work, often across multiple labs in multiple geographies and languages, can rely on the LabVantage Enterprise solution hosted from a single data center. There is no need for costly Citrix farms or complex distributed systems.

LabVantage also goes beyond a traditional LIMS to incorporate functionality found in multiple lab systems – such as ELN and LES.

For business leaders and lab managers, LabVantage Enterprise offers dashboard views, functionality, and systems integration that generate insights for decision making, workforce planning, and other operational functions.

IT chooses LabVantage Enterprise because of its modern technology, scalability, cloud-hosted or on-premise options, ability to integrate with other business systems, and support for thousands of multi-site users.

Scientists and technicians appreciate the roles-based access to data from any device (including tablets), and the ease of use. It covers a wide range of capabilities, from sample lifecycle management to lab execution, data retrieval, security and auditing, and more.

Find out why hundreds of organizations use LabVantage Enterprise to enhance the productivity and efficiency of their labs.

The LUMiFuge is an analytical centrifuge that measures instantaneously the extinction of transmitted light across the full length of your sample using the STEP-Technology. It is the only instrument in the world that enables you to perform physically accelerated, direct and efficient stability testing and ranking of your formulations.

It features an advanced optical system enabling multi-sample analysis at user defined speeds, light intensities and temperatures. The optical blocks consist of high-powered special light sources of different wavelengths.

The parallel light illuminates the whole sample from top to bottom. Even the smallest changes across the entire sample height are detected by a sensor featuring high optical and spatial resolution. Immediate data collection ensures the ability to measure everything that occurs in your sample; no matter how simple or complex. There is no need to dilute or to know any material constants; just input your samples and you have your results.

By looking at the fingerprint patterns of the whole sample, you can classify and understand the causes of instability, e. g. creaming, sedimentation or flocculation, as well as measure and rank stability.

Use this knowledge to develop new formulations and optimize current ones easily.
